Je n' ai jamais vu cela dans les anciennes versions de Lyx . Je suis arrivé à règler le problème en installant Ispell ( que j' ai eu du mal à retrouver ) et là tout marche correctement . J' ai pensé que cela provenait d' une mauvaise configuration du clavier mais après relecture des aides je n' ai pas trouvé de réponse à mon problème et de plus les textes ne semblent pas en accord avec la version actuelle de Lyx . Le sytème copier couper coller semble fonctionner assez mal en tout cas bien plus mal que dans les anciennes versions , est ce du à un bogue ou à defaut de configuration , il en est de même des fonctions annuler et refaire . Les aides proposées ne sont pas d' une grande utilité car ne correspondent pas à la version actuelle de lyx .

Ok, now I feel stupid: I'll confess I was trying to insert it to the
filename.lyx file with vim... {Possible if I understood how, but...}
I strongly dislike controlling my software via the mouse so I never
noticed that the TeX icon had help text referring to the unfamiliar term
Evil Red Text. And so didn't yet understand the function of M-i t or
C-l key bindings.
Which I'll admit is a lot easier than using vim to put all this:
\begin_inset ERT
status Open
\layout Standard
\backslash
thispagestyle{fancy}
\end_inset
Just to get this ERT:
\thispagestyle{fancy}

Question 3 of 3
Is there a list of {key words?} that can be used to insert values into
header/footers such as
/thepage current output page number
/today Today's date
etc...
Sure, any latex reference manual should do. Also, search
the web. The LyX homepage have some pointers.
So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I
might find what I'm looking for if I google:
latex ERT
Still haven't found a useful list yet But it was during this search
that I tripped over instructions to use the TeX icon to insert ERTs
so I'm glad I went there...
I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted
to the header, footer (and/or I suspect inside the document body via
ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for
most of my writing needs. Now I can focus mostly on my writing,
confident that I'll like letting lyx take care of MOST of the
typesetting details...
Thanks again Helge!

So here's where that leaves me:
The viewers and exporting for dvi now work. :-)
Preview is working fine for PDF viewing. (seems fine unless there's
something else I should use)
2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with
dvipdfm, I get the following error:
... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi'
dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong?
I've always had simply dvipdfm as the driver (had not installed
dvipdfmx at all because I didn't need it). Now I tried that using
fink and got the same error as you.
Assuming you got the dvipdfmx package from fink, too: the error is
probably due to the entry \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} which is
inserted into the LaTeX preamble by LyX without asking or telling
you. It's a good idea to have that when using pdflatex, which I use
almost exclusively. But still: I think this practice of stealthily
slipping in extraneous code is not a good philosophy on the part of LyX.
When I exported from LyX to latex and manually removed that ...
[T1]... line from the preamble, everything worked again. I would
always try it from the command line first, and look carefully at the
tex file, to weed out any LyX-LaTEX related eccentricities...
I'm a little confused about which X11 to use. I installed the OSX
one as you recommended. But I still have the plain vanilla fink X11
installed. Should I remove that? I read somewhere that I needed the
fink one (and NOT the apple one) for some things. Apple's seems to
add a basic window manager and xterm -- which is nice. But I'm not
sure if there is a disadvantage here.
Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So
do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which?
And should I remove the other X11?
I wouldn't worry about it. The X11's can coexist, as far as I know.
But you're right, there is a bug in open-x11 which doesn't let it
automatically start X11.app, as I had intended (it works if you
provide an argument to open-x11). Another thing I never noticed,
because I have X11 running all the time, anyway...
So the better way to do this is: replace open-x11 by open -a X11
in the line I sent you earlier, i.e.,
open -a X11 export DISPLAY=:0.0 /sw/bin/xdvik
And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in
linux on the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as
well as pdf. two of three types of pdf export are working now.
For that, I would suggest doing a fink install tex4ht (I don't
think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my
opinion; there's also hevea). You may have to run Reconfigure in
LyX after the installation.
I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to
1.4.3 in slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I
installed a couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the
upgrade then. But it sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on
linux if it's from that old install. The exported files retain the
important parts of the lyx formatting I need and require little or
no modification thereafter.
The other thing along these lines I need is to be able to import
from Word files. Getting all this going would handle all my import/
export and viewing needs to be able to fully use LyX on the Mac.
It's been a while since I've actually seriously needed that - but
I've written down some possibilities here (in response to some
exchanges with other TeX users);
http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/WordToLaTeX.html
I can't make any guarantees that this is what you need - but going
from Word to LaTeX and then to LyX might work.
As a Mac newbie I've not been able to find a clear answer to
exactly what happens when you move to a .app to trash. Does it
actually fully uninstall the application?
No, it doesn't delete everything. E.g., files in ~/Library/
Application Support/ are left floating around. Unfortunately, most
applications don't come with a clean uninstaller, so you have to take
care of those extra files yourself...
And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's
a wiki? :-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is
it an acronym?

Bibliography citations are ordered backwards
Hello, I used LyX's bibliography editor to insert citations from a .bib file and make a default bibliography. Everything went fine when I generated the bibliography, except the numbering of the citations is disordered. Instead of proceeding from [1] to [15] throughout my article, they seem to be ordered in the *reverse of the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file.* So, the first citation I put in is [15], and the last is [1]. I recall something like this happening before, except last time they were ordered in the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file, which is still not what I want (even if I put in a citation at the beginning of the paper as a finishing touch, I want it to show up as [1], not [15]). Does anyone know what might be causing this? The BibTeX file was generated by Connotea, if that makes any difference. I am running LyX 1.3.7 on Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper Drake). Thank you, Neil

Jens, Everything you told me mostly works. This is very helpful --
thank you!
So here's where that leaves me:
The viewers and exporting for dvi now work. :-)
Preview is working fine for PDF viewing. (seems fine unless there's
something else I should use)
2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with
dvipdfm, I get the following error:
... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi'
dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong?
I've always had simply dvipdfm as the driver (had not installed
dvipdfmx at all because I didn't need it). Now I tried that using
fink and got the same error as you.
Assuming you got the dvipdfmx package from fink, too: the error is
probably due to the entry \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} which is
inserted into the LaTeX preamble by LyX without asking or telling
you. It's a good idea to have that when using pdflatex, which I use
almost exclusively. But still: I think this practice of stealthily
slipping in extraneous code is not a good philosophy on the part of LyX.
When I exported from LyX to latex and manually removed that ...
[T1]... line from the preamble, everything worked again. I would
always try it from the command line first, and look carefully at the
tex file, to weed out any LyX-LaTEX related eccentricities...
I'm a little confused about which X11 to use. I installed the OSX
one as you recommended. But I still have the plain vanilla fink X11
installed. Should I remove that? I read somewhere that I needed the
fink one (and NOT the apple one) for some things. Apple's seems to
add a basic window manager and xterm -- which is nice. But I'm not
sure if there is a disadvantage here.
Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So
do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which?
And should I remove the other X11?
I wouldn't worry about it. The X11's can coexist, as far as I know.
But you're right, there is a bug in open-x11 which doesn't let it
automatically start X11.app, as I had intended (it works if you
provide an argument to open-x11). Another thing I never noticed,
because I have X11 running all the time, anyway...
So the better way to do this is: replace open-x11 by open -a X11
in the line I sent you earlier, i.e.,
open -a X11 export DISPLAY=:0.0 /sw/bin/xdvik
And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in
linux on the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as
well as pdf. two of three types of pdf export are working now.
For that, I would suggest doing a fink install tex4ht (I don't
think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my
opinion; there's also hevea). You may have to run Reconfigure in
LyX after the installation.
I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to
1.4.3 in slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I
installed a couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the
upgrade then. But it sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on
linux if it's from that old install. The exported files retain the
important parts of the lyx formatting I need and require little or
no modification thereafter.
The other thing along these lines I need is to be able to import
from Word files. Getting all this going would handle all my import/
export and viewing needs to be able to fully use LyX on the Mac.
It's been a while since I've actually seriously needed that - but
I've written down some possibilities here (in response to some
exchanges with other TeX users);
http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/WordToLaTeX.html
I can't make any guarantees that this is what you need - but going
from Word to LaTeX and then to LyX might work.
As a Mac newbie I've not been able to find a clear answer to
exactly what happens when you move to a .app to trash. Does it
actually fully uninstall the application?
No, it doesn't delete everything. E.g., files in ~/Library/
Application Support/ are left floating around. Unfortunately, most
applications don't come with a clean uninstaller, so you have to take
care of those extra files yourself...
And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's
a wiki? :-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is
it an acronym?

Bibliography citations are ordered backwards
Hello, I used LyX's bibliography editor to insert citations from a .bib file and make a default bibliography. Everything went fine when I generated the bibliography, except the numbering of the citations is disordered. Instead of proceeding from [1] to [15] throughout my article, they seem to be ordered in the *reverse of the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file.* So, the first citation I put in is [15], and the last is [1]. I recall something like this happening before, except last time they were ordered in the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file, which is still not what I want (even if I put in a citation at the beginning of the paper as a finishing touch, I want it to show up as [1], not [15]). Does anyone know what might be causing this? The BibTeX file was generated by Connotea, if that makes any difference. I am running LyX 1.3.7 on Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper Drake). Thank you, Neil

Because you changed the "page style" for normal pages,
and the first page isn't normal in this case.
Yeah that figures...
Usually, the first page is either a chapter page (if
your document style support chapters) or a title
page. Lyx does not suppot changing the chapter/title
page styles directly. You may use ERT
to set \chapterpagestyle to fancy if you wish.
Note that some document styles don't use
chapterpagestyle or titlepagestyle, they have other ways.
Usually, \thispagestyle{fancy} will do the trick though.
Make sure you put this ERT somewhere on the page you want changed.
Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this. As it happens the document I used
to try to do this with says:
\textclass letter
But when I try to insert either chapterpagestyle or thispagestyle
by, for example, changing this:
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
Well Hello Jim.
To this:
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Well Hello Jim.
What I get on opening the doc with lyx is An error pop-up that says:
"Textclass Loading Error!"
Are you changing the .lyx file directly with some kind of
text editor? You are not supposed to do that!
Open your working file with lyx.
Place the cursor somewhere on the first page.
Use the menu "Insert->Tex Code". (Or click the toolbar button
with the word TeX in red.)
You should get a little box with red borders. Inside this
box, type
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Then move the cursor out of the box so you don't type anything
else there.
Now try "view->DVI" or "view->pdf", see if you get the
page layout you want. I get a letter with a fancy first page.
I have attached an example file, but be warned that it
is made with a develpoment version of lyx. That's all I have
right now.
"Encountered unknown token
When reading" [filename]
Since the only place in my document's control codes I see braces "{}"
I also tried:
\thispagestyle fancy
With the same results (sigh!)
Any other suggestions?
Never mess with the .lyx file unless you know what you do.
Latex commands either go in boxes of their own (insert->tex code)
or sometimes in the document preamble which you find in
the document settings dialog.

Jens, Everything you told me mostly works. This is very helpful --
thank you!
So here's where that leaves me:
The viewers and exporting for dvi now work. :-)
Preview is working fine for PDF viewing. (seems fine unless there's
something else I should use)
2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with
dvipdfm, I get the following error:
... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi'
dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong?
I've always had simply dvipdfm as the driver (had not installed
dvipdfmx at all because I didn't need it). Now I tried that using
fink and got the same error as you.
Assuming you got the dvipdfmx package from fink, too: the error is
probably due to the entry "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" which is
inserted into the LaTeX preamble by LyX without asking or telling
you. It's a good idea to have that when using pdflatex, which I use
almost exclusively. But still: I think this practice of stealthily
slipping in extraneous code is not a good philosophy on the part of LyX.
When I exported from LyX to latex and manually removed that "...
[T1]..." line from the preamble, everything worked again. I would
always try it from the command line first, and look carefully at the
tex file, to weed out any LyX->LaTEX related eccentricities...
I'm a little confused about which X11 to use. I installed the OSX
one as you recommended. But I still have the plain vanilla fink X11
installed. Should I remove that? I read somewhere that I needed the
fink one (and NOT the apple one) for some things. Apple's seems to
add a basic window manager and xterm -- which is nice. But I'm not
sure if there is a disadvantage here.
Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So
do I need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which?
And should I remove the other X11?
I wouldn't worry about it. The X11's can coexist, as far as I know.
But you're right, there is a "bug" in open-x11 which doesn't let it
automatically start X11.app, as I had intended (it works if you
provide an argument to open-x11). Another thing I never noticed,
because I have X11 running all the time, anyway...
So the better way to do this is: replace "open-x11" by "open -a X11"
in the line I sent you earlier, i.e.,
open -a X11 && export DISPLAY=:0.0 && /sw/bin/xdvik
And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in
linux on the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as
well as pdf. two of three types of pdf export are working now.
For that, I would suggest doing a "fink install tex4ht" (I don't
think you can get tth from fink, but tex4ht is extremely good in my
opinion; there's also "hevea"). You may have to run Reconfigure in
LyX after the installation.
I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to
1.4.3 in slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I
installed a couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the
upgrade then. But it sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on
linux if it's from that old install. The exported files retain the
important parts of the lyx formatting I need and require little or
no modification thereafter.
The other thing along these lines I need is to be able to import
from Word files. Getting all this going would handle all my import/
export and viewing needs to be able to fully use LyX on the Mac.
It's been a while since I've actually seriously needed that - but
I've written down some possibilities here (in response to some
exchanges with other TeX users);
http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/WordToLaTeX.html
I can't make any guarantees that this is what you need - but going
from Word to LaTeX and then to LyX might work.
As a Mac newbie I've not been able to find a clear answer to
exactly what happens when you move to a .app to trash. Does it
actually fully uninstall the application?
No, it doesn't delete everything. E.g., files in ~/Library/
Application Support/ are left floating around. Unfortunately, most
applications don't come with a clean uninstaller, so you have to take
care of those extra files yourself...
And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's
a "wiki"? <:-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is
it an acronym?

Bibliography citations are ordered backwards
Hello, I used LyX's bibliography editor to insert citations from a .bib file and make a default bibliography. Everything went fine when I generated the bibliography, except the numbering of the citations is disordered. Instead of proceeding from [1] to [15] throughout my article, they seem to be ordered in the *reverse of the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file.* So, the first citation I put in is [15], and the last is [1]. I recall something like this happening before, except last time they were ordered in the order in which I put them in when I was editing the file, which is still not what I want (even if I put in a citation at the beginning of the paper as a finishing touch, I want it to show up as [1], not [15]). Does anyone know what might be causing this? The BibTeX file was generated by Connotea, if that makes any difference. I am running LyX 1.3.7 on Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper Drake). Thank you, Neil
Mysql
Hi, I am thinking about using Lyx for some documents that need to include output from a Mysql database. Does anyone have any advise about the best way to proceed. Daniel Culver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
